KrnlKlinkHas anyone ever paired a 770 with a Motorola A1200? I have my provider specific connections setup and the phone looks like it connects but then the 770 errors out00:41
*** smcv_ has joined #maemo00:45
kaatisKrnlKlink, a1200 is a linux phone, right? is it any good?00:51
KrnlKlinkkaatis: Yes, it is a great phone...my only problems with it are tethering it to a linux device via bluetooth and the lack of an obex server...there is a lot of hacking going on right now...I've just recently run a beta of a X11/GPE image which has great potential....check out openezx.org...I believe that the motorola linux phones will be quickly ported to the openmoko framework00:59
*** behdad has quit IRC01:02
kaatisKrnlKlink, i see. thanks for the infos. i think that phone isn't sold anywhere in europe01:05
KrnlKlinkKaatis, I believe it may be called the a1200i01:05
*** dieguito has quit IRC01:08
SetokI heard there's a new razr-style linux phone from motorola01:09

*** keesj has quit IRC02:12
jwb_n800maddler, no i cat find a repo with it02:12
jwb_n800I'm new to these things so i'm probably screwing up somewhere02:13

maddlerjwb_n800: btw... I'd suggest using mutt instead...02:31
*** JoshTriplett has joined #maemo02:31
JoshTriplettWhile experimenting with some Python code on my N800, I noticed that the window title had the name of my Python file in it.  When I called set_title on my HildonWindow, that title just got appended to the name of the python file.  How do I set the entire title?02:33
jwb_n800maddler, mutt on the n800?02:34
jwb_n800maddler, does it respond to taps?02:34
Sulismutt is command line and so is pine...i don't imagine either of them would respond to taps02:35
JoshTriplettSulis: Depends on the terminal; I think mutt in an xterm or similar will respond to the mouse.02:36
jwb_n800Sulis, pine supposedly does02:36
maddlerjwb_n800: never tried...02:36
Sulisah, yeah i guess it could do that02:36
jwb_n800JoshTriplett, i've used mutt in an osso-xterm over ssh.  No tap response02:37
*** dieguito has joined #maemo02:37
maddlerbtw... pine cannot be installed... missing dependencies...02:37
maddlercannot investigate right now...02:38
jwb_n800shoot.  That's ok. Thanks anyway02:38
*** NickDe has joined #maemo02:39
maddlerhehe02:40
maddlerdamn... I can't understand why mountpoints are "changing"02:47
maddlerin /etc/fstab I have /dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/mmc102:47
maddlerbut mount reports /dev/mmcblk1p1 on /media/mmc102:48

maddlerisn't supposed mmc1 to be Internal SD?02:57
*** MoRpHeUz has joined #maemo02:57
JoshTriplettmaddler: No, internal sd shows up as mmc2.03:02
JoshTriplettjwb_n800: Perhaps osso-xterm doesn't implement the xterm mouse stuff.03:02
jwb_n800JoshTriplett, maybe not... Is there a different one available?03:03
JoshTriplettjwb_n800: Not that I know of.  You might try mutt in a standard xterm on a normal GNU/Linux box, and see if the mouse works there.03:04
JoshTriplettjwb_n800: Or gnome-terminal, or something like that.03:04
maddlerJoshTriplett: no... mine is mounted as mmc2...03:05
maddlerand can't understand *why*!03:05
maddlerI just tried rebooting only with internal SD...03:05
maddlerand it's mounted as MMC203:05
maddlermaybe I've been tweaking too much somewhere... :D03:06
maddlerbtw... the strange thing is that I have 2 partitions on each SD...03:06

qgilit would be good if MDK or any other simians would explain how far you can go with Mono and the internet tablets21:20
alpwonder what applications would make sense on the device21:20
keesjI packaged and tested cwiid for the n770 ! http://www.wiili.org/index.php/CWiid21:20
alpi had some patches to make f-spot work better on the n700 a year ago or so21:20
alprebuilding debian's packages may be worth investigating. they are very split out, which may be hassle (though originally the idea behind splitting it out was to target smaller devices which don't need all the features)21:22
alpi'll pick up my device from the mail room this week. MDK has made a great start21:25
tkothe problem with rebuilding debian packages is that we'd need all the build dependencies, and there's sometimes lots of extra dependencies because everyone loves features :)21:27
tkothe debian eabi port might be interesting for picking up binary packages21:27
alpi don't know, maybe there is also value to having one monolithic mono deb which has gtk-sharp, hildon bindings and osso built in21:28
MDKxan, tko: after some investigation, I think it's not easily possible to fix minimum-visible-bars at the HildonControlbar level21:28
MDKthe patch in gtk modifies the function that translates the x,y coords into bar value21:29
alpcertainly people like to download one file and install it by hand. i don't know if people are using the apt-like updater in maemo now21:29
tkoMDK, did we really need it? I thought it was used only in one place and even there only when the widget is made insensitive21:29
keesjalp: with the new download site the .install file will become popular (if they work) and that is apt-get like21:30
MDKtko: the problem is, we use the altered behaviour in most places21:30
MDKaltered behaviour = minimum visible bars > 021:30
jtrahey, this is my first step to implement translucent keyboard in xterm - http://dastych.sh.cvut.cz/~jtra/tmp/xterm-translucent.png (see that semi transparent picture over vte area) - cool, right? :)21:30
MDKwe usually use m-v-b=121:30

* timely chuckles22:10
* timely looks for the "no warrantee sign" that ships w/ canola22:10
timelyyou did backup your device and package info before installing it, right? :)22:11
Andy80timely: why?22:11

Andy80do I need to reflash my device?22:14
Andy80any suggestions?22:17
shackanis it possible to boot the n800 from usb?22:17
*** mlpug has quit IRC22:17
timelyor mmc in theory22:18
timelythere's a flag you can give to flasher specifying the boot device22:18
timelyyou might even be able to boot from nfs, but i can't remember :)22:18
timelyi suppose i could check22:18
Andy80timely: any ideas before reflashing my whole device?22:19
timelyandy80: i'm not the expert, i just break things :)22:20
timelypersonally i tend to pull out gdb, strace, and friends22:20
timelybut you can't really use dpkg to install them :)22:20
Andy80I cannot kill dpkg22:20
Andy80this is the problem22:20
shackantimeless, is it possible to boot from my laptop via usb? (ie: make it appear as usb storage)22:21
timelyok, flash, mmc and usb are the listed boot devices22:22
shackancool, what about what I said?22:23
timelydunno, i take it you don't have any usb keys?22:23
shackanI do22:23
shackanbut I wanted to avoid a lot of key swapping22:24
timelywhy not setup one of those?22:24
shackanbecause its faster, make kernel -> drop somewhere on you laptop -> reboot tablet -> debug22:24
* timely shrugs, nothing's impossible22:27

Andy80timely: just reflashed with latest firmware -_-22:55
jheAndy80: you didn't have the charging cable plugged in when you rebooted, did you? When it is plugged the device doesn't really shut down when you try to turn it off from the UI (instead it just changes to a special "acting dead" runlevel), and that would explain why your dpkg process didn't go away.23:02
c0ffeehey jhe23:03
jhec0ffee: hi23:03
c0ffeeany news on the bt stuff? :)23:03
jhenope :-/23:03
jhehopefully next week23:03
Andy80jhe: yes, it was a charging cable problem at the beginning, but the apt system was compromised, I explain: after killing dpkg I tried to: apt-get remove canola, and the reply was: Abort.23:03
c0ffeewould be great :)23:03
Andy80jhe: Now I've flashed with latest os2006 firmware (v3)23:04
Andy80jhe: ony a question about repository: os2006 v3 should be "scirocco" version, right? Repositories available on http://maemo.org/maemowiki/ApplicationRepositories only talks about "mistral" and no "scirocco" what should I write when I add a repository?23:05
c0ffeemistral is correct for os200623:06
jheyep23:06
*** dieguito has quit IRC23:07
Andy80and... why some repository tell me to use "scirocco" ? Who should use "scirocco" then?23:07
* jhe actually has very little clue about the different version codenames23:07
c0ffeethat's for developing stuff23:07
tkowe're fairly confused when it comes to release names :)23:08
tkoas far as I've understood it, os2006 v1 <-> mistral, v2 <-> scirocco, v3 <-> gregale23:09
tkothe sane way would've been to call the whole os2006 series mistral, but oh well...23:10

sp3000so when is someone going to draw pretty roadmap / naming pictures :)23:13

c0ffeeis the source code of one of those wizard apps available?23:24
c0ffeelike where you can configure a new internet connection23:25
tkonope23:26
qgilsp3000: what you mean by pretty roadmap / naming pictures?23:29
c0ffeesadly, i suck a lot at gui design23:29
c0ffeeall my attempts to come up with a similar wizzard are saying "i suck at gui" all over them23:29
qgilfwiw, since a couple of days I'm the "owner" of http://maemo.org/platform/docs/roadmap.html23:31
qgilI'm talking with people in OSSO team to see how to update that page23:31
tko"Major updates: gtk - based on 2.6.10" :)23:31
tkoonly slightly outdated23:32
inzc0ffee, you need to consult tigert ;)23:33
c0ffeehu?23:33
*** script has quit IRC23:33
c0ffeeah, he's doing the wizzards?23:33
tkotricky.. do we really want to give away our advanced UI designs? :)23:33
c0ffeehehe23:34
c0ffeewhat about a wizzard widget23:34
qgilI also asked at http://maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-developers/2007-January/007527.html about suggestions to be integrated in the roadmap, but no feedback (perhaps we deserve it)  ;)23:34
c0ffeeyou feed it with some xml and it executes the configuration itself23:34
c0ffeeqgil, 404 :)23:35
c0ffeehupos23:35
c0ffeemy fault23:35
sp3000qgil: something to relate the various repo and release names and numbers at a glance, I guess23:35
c0ffeewell, let's answer then23:35
qgilsp3000: then more than a roadmap you need a maemo map23:36
inzc0ffee, he doesn't make the wizards, but he can help with GUI d'sign23:36
qgilsp3000: yeah, in my to-do list as well23:36
sp3000whatevermap :)23:36
qgilwell, roadmap means timeline and getting an idea of repositories etc means "space"23:37
c0ffeeqgil, somebody answered your mail23:37
c0ffeeqgil, and he actually pinned down the worst point of maemo23:37
*** skandaleras has joined #maemo23:37
c0ffeeqgil, we definitely need a way to for vpn plugins that integrate nicely in the normal network management23:38
c0ffeeqgil, a 'configure vpn for this connection' in the advanced config options for connections23:38
c0ffeeqgil, and some dbus mechanizm to start and stop vpn daemons during network connection23:38
qgilI see23:40
*** bedboi has quit IRC23:40
qgilthe problem of definitions comes again  :)23:40
c0ffeewhat problem is that?23:40
sp3000qgil: both, really, as in, how the space evolves23:40
qgilI was thinking of a roadmap of the development platform, not the whole Maemo-understood-as-the-platform23:40
sp3000having a time axis to the space map helps, hence the pretty picture thing23:41
c0ffeewell :)23:41
*** bedboi has joined #maemo23:41
tkoqgil, hmm, what's the difference? :)23:41
c0ffeehave you ever developed using a self-compiled crosschain?23:41
*** Guardian has joined #maemo23:41
c0ffeethere's not much you could improve with the scratchbox setup from that point of view23:41
c0ffeeimho maemo as a complete product feels too much like carved in stone23:42
c0ffee3rd party software is forced to come with a clumsy hack look & feel because many essential applications still aren't extensible23:43
c0ffeeso i'd like to see apis for such stuff on the roadmap :)23:43
qgilc0ffee: concatenate your chat sentences in an email answering my call and it will be much more useful, believe me23:43
keesjyou can't have both the source and good api's :p but one of them is usually required23:44
qgilyes, point the weak points of the development platform you think we should work on23:45
qgilthe more precise you are pointing and explaining weaknesses, the better23:45
qgillet me explain23:47
qgilin our team I'm playing a role of, say, the advocate of the external developers23:47
*** cworth has joined #maemo23:47
qgilI need to bring inside everything that makes life easier and happier to external developers23:48
c0ffeedoes this mean you scream and bitch at the others all day long? :)23:48
tkoc0ffee, hope so :)23:48
qgilbut then I face several factors, typical in any project: resources available, deadlines, other interests, other views...23:48
qgilthis is why we need to priorituize, negotiate and plan steps forward that a) make sense and b) we can effectively make23:49
qgilwhen we add something the roadmap (now) it is because we think we will achieve it, if not we don put it23:50
*** sKaBoy has quit IRC23:50
keesjwhat about trying to achieve things that are impossible for normal developers (full support for all that nice hardware and java) that sounds such a quick win23:51
qgilI want to add more flexibility, ina  kind of Wishlist that allows us to identify desired progress without committing ourselves - as many free software projects do with their roadmaps23:51
tkoIMO we should also put 'not yet' things into our roadmaps, maybe with a 'help wanted' sign attached23:51
*** KermitTheFragger has quit IRC23:51
c0ffeetko, yeah, that would be useful23:51
*** kkpaul_ has quit IRC23:52
* cworth still can't find the "first steps with the n800" document he's looking for23:52
tkoI mean there's only so much we can do ourselves23:52
qgiltko: yes, I also think this is the way23:52
c0ffeetko, i can think of one or two things, I want to have done myself, but apart from that, a clear sign 'here help is wanted' would be needed23:52
JaffaDefinitely.23:52
*** trenka has quit IRC23:52
cworthFor starters, I'd just like to be able to connect to this device over ssh. Where are instructions on doing that?23:52
*** Guard][an has joined #maemo23:52
c0ffeeinstall dropbear-server23:52
tkoin the wiki :-]23:52
JaffaSo far the problem's been that Nokia's plans are so closed, and tied to Maemo, that any direction on Maemo has to come from Nokia to be accepted, but a "help wanted" might spoil future product plans :-/23:53
c0ffeecworth, it's in one of the 'howtogetroot' wiki entries23:53
cworthThe wiki could definitely use some treatment like this page has:23:53
cworthhttp://maemo.org/platform/docs/how-to.html23:53
c0ffeeit's a wiki23:53
c0ffeefeel free23:53
cworthThat is, noting which documents apply to n800 as equally as to n770.23:53
cworthc0ffee: Sure, but I don't know any of the details (...yet).23:54
qgilJaffa: yes, you are pointing to one of my current tasks  :)23:54
cworthc0ffee: So in the wiki I'm seeing "Step 1: Point your browser to [WWW] Xterm DEB and then to [WWW] Dropbear DEB". Do we not have things set up to be able to install this stuff through the "Application Manager" program yet?23:56
qgilthere are ways to solve the equation, though - generally Nokia don't rely on volunteerism to get the help needed in order to develop the core product plans: Nokia hires, Nokia contracts, this is what companies do23:56
c0ffeeif you feed the 2007 repositories to your app manager, you can just install them from there23:56
tkoc0ffee, you mean all 20 of them? :)23:57
qgilthis is why I insist in enhancements for the benefit of the own external developers (aka you)23:57
Jaffaqgil: Agreed, however if I was being cynical, I'd say Nokia need all the help they can get23:57
c0ffeetko, you're on the safe side then, right? :)23:57
JaffaIn fact, that's not cynical. The cynical bit is pointing out all the little niggles in the N800 which many eyes might've made shallow before release (not that I wouldn't want my N800 when I got it ;-))23:57
qgilJaffa: of course, but the help we want from developers like you will come if we help you getting the results you expect to get in your developments23:58
c0ffeeqgil, well, the developer device program is kind of a signal that nokia can do different as well23:58
svuI heard, new firmware is supposed to be released soon?23:58
cworthc0ffee: Which repositories? I see at least 7 "2007" repositories listed here:23:59
cworthhttp://maemo.org/maemowiki/ApplicationRepositories23:59
c0ffeemaemo-hackers for the xterm23:59
c0ffeeno idea in which the dropbear-server is, sorry :/23:59
